Le sourire de la tarte tatin follows a small ensemble on a tenderly comic quest: convinced that a work of art can ease pain, they set out to find this curative masterpiece as if searching for the Grail. The piece blends intimate realism and gentle absurdity, probing helplessness, friendship and the unexpected discoveries that arise when pursuit alters the seeker. Sparse staging and attentive rhythm invite empathy and quiet laughter.

Presented by Electron Festival, Detroit Legends gathers pioneers Cybotron and Dopplereffekt for a dialogue between two foundational visions of techno. Their early experiments fused futurism, electronic machinery and African-American musical culture, shaping a sound that still echoes across generations. The evening opens with Geneva’s Orphia, whose analog textures, metronomic rhythms and luminous atmospheres form a bridge between origins and contemporary electronic practice. Three live sets, multiple generations, a concentrated portrait of the lineage and emotional force of Detroit electronic music.

The performance alternates driving grooves and soulful breaks, inviting spontaneous interplay and a communal blues jam afterward. The evening emphasizes raw musicianship and the joy of live exchange.
Two bands take the stage: The Band, channeling raw 1960s–70s rock, and Latin Lovers, offering swing and Latin-infused repertoire.

It creates a convivial, nocturnal atmosphere where nostalgia meets rhythmic exuberance and live interplay becomes the event’s emotional core.
Cosmic Impro and Compagnie des Murmures join forces for a double-bill of high-energy improvisation.
